Abstract

Objective: Uncontrolled asthma profoundly affects quality of life and imposes a significant societal burden. However, reports on its prevalence and contributing factors in Vietnam remain limited. This study aimed to address this gap by investigating the prevalence and factors associated with uncontrolled asthma among children in Vietnam.

Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted involving 344 pediatric asthma patients and their caregivers. The Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) and Asthma Control Test (ACT) were used to assess asthma control in children aged 4-11 and 12-16 years, respectively. Data on patient, caregiver, and treatment characteristics were collected for analysis. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify factors associated with uncontrolled asthma.

Results: The prevalence of uncontrolled asthma was 40.1%. Factors significantly associated with uncontrolled asthma included previous admissions due to asthma (aOR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.56-5.04, p < .001), inadequate caregiver knowledge (aOR = 2.86, 95% CI: 1.58-5.19, p < .001), and non-adherence to controller medication (aOR = 1.92, 95% CI: 1.07-3.48, p = .030).

Conclusions: The prevalence of uncontrolled asthma in Vietnamese children is quite high. Previous admissions due to asthma, inadequate caregiver knowledge, and controller medication non-adherence were identified as significant factors associated with uncontrolled asthma.

越南未受控制的小儿哮喘发病率及相关因素。

目的：未控制的哮喘严重影响生活质量，并造成重大的社会负担。然而，关于其在越南的流行程度和影响因素的报告仍然有限。本研究旨在通过调查越南儿童中未控制哮喘的患病率和相关因素来解决这一差距。方法：对344例儿童哮喘患者及其护理人员进行分析性横断面研究。采用儿童哮喘控制测试（C-ACT）和哮喘控制测试（ACT）分别评估4-11岁和12-16岁儿童的哮喘控制情况。收集患者、护理人员和治疗特征的数据进行分析。采用Logistic回归分析确定与未控制哮喘相关的因素。结果：哮喘未控制的患病率为40.1%。与未控制哮喘显著相关的因素包括既往因哮喘入院（aOR = 2.80, 95% CI: 1.56 - 5.04, P P P = 0.030）。结论：越南儿童哮喘未控制的患病率较高。既往因哮喘入院、护理人员知识不足和控制者药物依从性不佳被确定为与未控制哮喘相关的重要因素。
